engine pre-heating system. If the engine does not start straight
away, switch off the ignition. Wait a
few moments before operating the
starter motor again. If the engine does
not start after several attempts, do not
keep trying: you risk damaging the
starter motor or the engine. Contact
a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop.
In wintry conditions, the warning lamp
can stay on for a longer period. When
the engine is hot, the warning lamp
does not come on.

In temperate conditions, do not leave
the engine at idle to warm up but move
off straight away and drive at moderate
speed.Never leave the engine running in
an enclosed area without adequate
ventilation: internal combustion
engines emit toxic exhaust gases,
such as carbon monoxide. Danger of
intoxication and death.
In very severe wintry conditions
(temperatures below -23°C), to ensure
the correct operation and durability of
the mechanical components of your
vehicle, engine and gearbox, it is
necessary to leave the engine running
for 4 minutes before moving off.

be switched off automatically after one hour.
To switch the ignition back on, turn the key
to position 1 (Stop) , then back to position 2
(Ignition on) .
Avoid attaching heavy objects to the
key, which would weigh down on its
blade in the ignition switch and could
cause a malfunction. For more information, refer to the
"Practical information" section, under
"Energy economy mode".
Switching off the engine
Energy economy mode
After switching off the engine (position 1- Stop ),
for a maximum of 30 minutes you can still use
functions such as the audio and telematic
system, the wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, ...

The speed limiter is switched on manually:
it requires a programmed speed of at least
20 mph (30 km/h).
The speed limiter is switched off by manual
operation of the control.
The programmed speed remains in memory
when the ignition is switched off. System which prevents the vehicle from
exceeding the speed programmed by the
driver.
When the programmed speed limit is reached,
pressing the accelerator pedal no longer has
any effect unless it is pressed firmly, which
allows the programmed speed to be temporarily
exceeded.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
slow down to a speed below the programmed
speed by releasing the accelerator.
The speed limiter cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the need for
vigilance on the part of the driver.This information also appears in the
head-up display.

The cruise control is switched off manually
or by pressing the brake or clutch pedal or on
triggering of the DSC/ASR systems for safety
reasons.
It is possible to exceed the programmed speed
temporarily by pressing the accelerator pedal.
To return to the programmed speed, simply
release the accelerator pedal. System which automatically maintains the
speed of the vehicle at the value programmed
by the driver, without any action on the
accelerator pedal.
Switching off the ignition cancels any
programmed speed value.
The cruise control cannot, in any
circumstances, replace the need to observe
speed limits, nor can it replace the need for

AUTO disappears and the gears engaged
appear in succession in the instrument panel
screen.
The gear change requests are only
carried out if the engine speed
permits.
It is not necessary to release the
accelerator during gear changes.
When braking or slowing down, the gearbox
changes down automatically to allow vehicle to
pull away in the correct gear. F
W
hen the vehicle has moved off, select
position M to change to manual mode for
sequential gear changing.
If position R , A or M

is selected, even
with the engine at idle, if the brakes are
released the vehicle moves without any
action on the accelerator. Never leave
children unsupervised in the vehicle
when the engine is running. When
carrying out maintenance on the vehicle
with the engine running, apply the
parking brake and select position N .
On sharp acceleration, the gearbox will
not change up unless the driver acts on
the gear lever or the steering mounted
paddles.
Never select neutral N while the vehicle
is moving.
Only engage reverse gear R when the
vehicle is immobilised with the brake
pedal pressed. At very low speed, if reverse gear is
requested, this will only be taken into
account when the vehicle is immobilised.
The Foot on brake warning lamp may
flash in the instrument panel to prompt you
to brake.
At high speed, if reverse gear is
requested, the N indicator lamp will flash
and the gearbox will change to neutral
automatically. To engage a gear again,
return the lever to position A or M.

The Stop & Start system puts the engine
t emporarily into standby - STOP mode - during
stops in the traffic (red lights, traffic jams, or
other...). The engine restarts automatically -
START mode - as soon as you want to move
off. The restart takes place instantly, quickly
and silently.
Per fect for urban use, the Stop & Start system
reduces fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions as well as the noise level when
stationary.
Operation
Going into engine STOP mode
The "ECO" indicator lamp comes
on in the instrument panel and the
engine goes into standby:
-

w

ith a manual gearbox , at speeds below
12 mph (20 km/h), or vehicle stationary
with PureTech 130 and BlueHDi 115 and
120 versions, when you put the gear lever
into neutral and release the clutch pedal,
-

w

ith an electronic gearbox , at speeds
below 5 mph (8 km/h), when you press the
brake pedal or you put the gear selector in
position N ,
Special cases: STOP mode not
available
STOP mode is not invoked when:
- t
he driver's door is open,
-

t
he driver's seat belt is not fastened,
-

t
he vehicle has not exceeded 6 mph
(10
km/h) since the last engine start using
t h e key,
-

t
he vehicle is stopped on a steep slope
(up
or down),
-

t
he electric parking brake is applied or
being applied,
-

t
he engine is needed to maintain a
comfortable temperature in the passenger
compartment,
-
d

emisting is active,
-
s

ome special conditions (battery charge,
engine temperature, braking assistance,
ambient temperature...) where the engine is
needed to assure control of a system.
In this case, the "ECO" indicator
lamp flashes for a few seconds then
goes off.
This operation is perfectly normal.
Never refuel with the engine in STOP
mode; you must switch off the ignition
with the key. For your comfort, during parking
maoeuvres, STOP mode is not
available for a few seconds after
coming out of reverse gear.
STOP mode does not affect the
functionality of the vehicle, such as for
example, braking, power steering...
Stop & Start
- with an automatic gearbox, vehicle
stationary, when you press the brake pedal
or you put the gear selector in position N .
If your vehicle is fitted with the system,
a time counter calculates the sum of the
periods in STOP mode during a journey.
It rests itself to zero every time the
ignition is switched on with the key.

The flashing and then fixed
illumination of the under-inflation
warning lamp accompanied by
the illumination of the service warning lamp
indicates a fault with the system.
In this case, monitoring of the tyre pressures is
not assured.
This alert is also displayed when one or
more wheels is not fitted with a sensor
(for example, a space-saver or steel
spare wheel).
Under-inflation alert
The alert is given by the fixed illumination
of this warning lamp, accompanied by
an audible signal, and depending on
equipment, the display of a message.
In the event of a problem on one of the tyres,
the symbol or the message appears, according
to equipment, to identify it. F

R
educe speed, avoid sudden steering
movements or harsh brake applications.
F
S
top as soon as it is safe to do so.
The loss of pressure detected does not
always lead to visible deformation of the
tyre. Do not rely on just a visual check. The alert is maintained until the tyre or
tyres concerned is reinflated, repaired
or replaced.
The spare wheel (space-saver type or a
steel rim) does not have a sensor.
Operating fault
Go to a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified
workshop
to have the system checked
or, following the repair of a puncture, to
have the original wheel, equipped with a
sensor, refitted.
F

I

f you have a compressor (the one in the
temporary puncture repair kit for example),
check the four tyre pressures when cold.
I

f it is not possible to check the tyre
pressures at the time, drive carefully at
reduced speed.


or
F
I
n the event of a puncture, use the
temporary puncture repair kit or the spare
wheel (according to equipment).
Any tyre repair or replacement on a
wheel fitted with this system must be
carried out by a PEUGEOT dealer or a
qualified workshop.
If after changing a tyre, a wheel is not
detected by your vehicle (fitting snow
tyres for example), you must have the
system reinitialised by a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop.
